Google Avoids Break-Up But Must Change Exclusive Search Practices in Antitrust Case

Reported about 16 hours ago

In a recent antitrust ruling, a federal judge has mandated that Google must cease its exclusive search agreements and share some data with competitors to prevent anti-competitive behavior, though it will not be forced to break up its search business. The decision comes after the Department of Justice sued Google in 2020 for maintaining a monopoly in online search. Judge Amit P. Mehta's tentative remedies intend to enhance competition while still allowing Google to operate its search services. Further proceedings are expected as both parties prepare a final judgment.
